Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?

@Giles do these factories solely produce IH clothing? And if so, did they produce others in the past before your product filled their production so much they decided to produce only Iron Heart clothing?

They produce for other brands too (not that many, but a few), they do that because they have to spread risk, have more than one egg in the basket. If we go tits up, then they're screwed too. I grew Iron Heart very quickly in the mid 2010's, and the factories grew and expanded with us. A lot of the growth was driven by growth in Thailand. One day (literally overnight), demand for Iron Heart in Thailand virtually dried up. Iron Heart in Thailand was a fashion item and with that comes attendant risk, I should have been more aware of our vulnerability. I knew I could grow other markets and would fill the void, but it took a year or so, and during that period the heavy ounce workshop, especially, suffered badly, that wound still weeps....

Thanks @Northman
@Giles found the IHSH-305 and IHSH-54, any plans on bringing those back ? Maybe adding more colors?

@jat in general I wish there were more versions of 1955

@Xavras @jat see here for a fairly comprehensive outline of IH plans for the 1955:

House slippers.
It’s already cold here and I had to toss the leather bottomed wool ones I had from kyrgies. They stank something awful and always felt moist. Tried everything to clean them and nothing worked.

Olive duck five pockets. There are barely any green duck trousers available and I love it.

@Tago-Mago Damn, this does not bode well for the Relaxed Straight fits.

@Xavras we thigh guys must be patient

@Giles that's fascinating - thanks for sharing it.

Im a big fan of vests so on my list would be:

21oz Denim N-1 vest
21oz SBG Type 3 vest
21oz SBG N-1 Vest and/or Jacket

[SKT]

I think I’ve probably mentioned this before but man I’d love to see a vest (IHV-44) made like the IHJ-79 or 153 with vertical chest pockets and flap hand pockets. Makes sense as it would reduce bulk over the midriff area for layering.

IHSH-414 in additional colours - olive, indigo, navy, brown

[SKT]

+1 ^

@Tago-Mago Interesting shout.

[jerkules]

+1 for a non-western corduroy, but would be superb in the same shirt pattern as the fox bros CPO shirts. And in a phthalo green colour would be so good:

Would love some 888 heavy cords. ️

[Choko]

Yes! ^

I want to see a workshirt / pant combo in black corduroy - Like a chino style pant with workshirt top
